Last night we watched the premiere episode of The Bachelors. The new season includes three bachelors and 28 ladies all looking to win the heart of their suitors.

While we still have alongway to go, it's clear this season is going to be unlike anything we've watched in the past.

However, what viewers have recognised is how many familiar faces are among the sea of contestants.

Watch the trailer for The Bachelors. Post continues after video.

There's Leah Cummings who was on the 2017 reality dating showThe Proposaland was also allegedly about to star inFarmer Wants A WifebeforeThe Bachelorfranchise came knocking.

"She has previously been onThe Proposalthen got fully cast for the last season of Farmer Wants a Wife and did the entire process for that [sic]," a source told So Dramatic.

"ThenBachcame calling, so she aborted her mission onFarmer Wants A Wifethinking she would get more attention fromThe Bachelor."

Then we have Jess Tomlinson who is angled to be the bridesmaid who blows up a wedding in the new season ofMarried At First Sight.

Alésia Delaney, who has a now-deleted profile on StarNow is another contestant who has a history as an actor and model – she was a background actor forThe Great Gatsbywhile it was filming in Sydney.

However, the most recognisable contestant, who people noticed quickly after her short cameo in the first episode ofThe Bachelors,is Tash.

On her date with Jed, she was surprised when she realised he was not tall, or brunette, or muscular. However, she told the cameras she was going to do everything she could to "make it work". This surprised audiences becauseThe Bachelorsis about finding true love, not starting a new job.

Who was Tash engaged to?

Also known as Natasha Zuanetti, theBachiecontestant has had a history of dating reality TV stars – including twoBacheloretteparticipants.

Tash also once appeared onFirst Datesand was allegedly lined up to be a bride onMarried At First Sightbefore she pulled out.

It was because, according to reports, she chose to pursue a relationship with Michael Turnbull, who was the runner-up on Sam Frost's season ofThe Bachelorettein 2015.

The pair went public about their dating in September 2018, before getting engaged two months later.

"I was so surprised, I didn't know what to expect," Tash explained to WHO Magazine following his proposal. They lasted until February 2019 when they broke up, but Tash and Michael reconciled in August before officially calling it quits sometime later.

Tash also dated Agostino 'Aggi' Guardiani and allegedly mentioned him constantly in theBachiehouse – which irked some of her fellow contestants.

According to one insider, one contestant told her, "Babe just shut up about it. You’re old news."

The source went on to say: "Tash was like, 'I'm not old news. I've been in theDaily Mail'. She said that on camera. It was so embarrassing. I feel like that’s something you don’t want to brag about."

While we're yet to see how Tash and Jed's romance blossoms (or fails miserably), watching her is certainly going to be interesting.

The Bachelors airs on 10 and 10 Play.
